Thurlow Weed - We wait for Christ, our Advent Light - текст песни (слова)

1. We wait for Christ, our Advent Light,
 a brightness like the sun:
 we find a rabbi with a lamp
 and ask, "Is this the One?"
 
 2. We wait for Christ, the Lord of hosts,
 a thousand battles won; 
 we find a stubborn man of peace
 and ask, "Is this the One?"
 
 3. We wait for Christ, our Advocate,
 for justice swiftly done; 
 we find a friend of the oppressed
 and ask, "Is this the One?"
 
 4. We wait for Christ, the King of Kings,
 a nation's favoured son;
 we find instead a servant-sage
 and ask, "Is this the One?"
 
 5. And so he comes, again he comes,
 and faith is yet begun 
 as open hearts are drawn to Christ,
 the Unexpected One.
